Scattering ashes is a poignant and often deeply emotional experience for those who have lost a loved one. It is a way to say goodbye and honour the memory of the person who has passed. There are many different vessels that can be used to scatter ashes, and the choice of the vessel will depend on personal preference, the location of the scattering, and the wishes of the deceased and their family. In this article, we will explore some of the options available for scattering ashes, based on the products available on the IrishUrns.com website.

One of the most popular vessels for scattering ashes is a biodegradable urn. These urns are made from materials such as bamboo, paper, or salt, and are designed to break down over time, allowing the ashes to be returned to the earth.

For example, the Eco-Urn is a simple yet elegant vessel made from bamboo, with a sliding lid that can be sealed with glue or tape.
